My Smith Family connection: |
| |
|
Mearcy (note the "A") SMITH :
born c1791/92 Bingley, Yorkshire |
| |
|
married Shackelton Thornber (Chr. 15 Oct 1797 Burnley) |
| |
|
m: 19 May 1817 Burnley & showing - both of this parish. |
| |
|
Mearcy's next appearance was the 1841 census age 50 not born in county. |
| |
|
Shackelton was not in the entry but their three children were; |
| |
|
Robert (20), Margaret (20) and William (15). |
| |
|
Margaret married my ancester John WHITEHEAD. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
1861 Census - Burnley Lane, Burnley |
| |
|
Mearcy Smith, age 69, |
| |
|
(indicating birth year c1791/2) |
| |
|
birthplace: Bingley, Yorkshire |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The next information I have on Mearcy is an MI in the
graveyard of the Haggate-Mill Lane Baptist Church
in Briercliffe, showing, Mercy (no "A") |
| |
|
wife of Shackleton Thornber, May 4 1864 aged 74 yrs. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
That is about all I have for Mearcy, hope it is of some use to someone, somewhere, somehow.

Other Smith info I found: |
| |
|
I went looking in some twenty year old files and came across the information. |
| |
|
I have a photocopy of a Certificate of Marriage dated 24 July 1909 |
| |
|
between Henry Ogden (31) and Lucy Smith (27) |
| |
|
at Holy Church in the Parish of Parkfield in Middleton, County of Lancaster.
|
| |
|
Lucy is described as "Widow", father William Whitehead. |
| |
|
I have no idea who her late husband was, except that his last name must have been SMITH.
|
| |
|
As Lucy did not appear to fit into my Whitehead family I did not pursue the matter. There is considerable other info on the paper but nothing that would indicate who her late husband was |
